General Commenthe's right, though. it comes and goes and waves when you are trying to get over someone. sometimes they are little ripples on your feet, little reminders that this was a part of your life. other times the waves are so strong that the tide takes you in, and you sink from all the memories, taking all of your energy.

I saw him perform a few weeks ago, and he explained that this song is about when him and his family were going through a lot of painful things, like death and illness. He just explained that he wrote this song for them, to help him and them get through it all.

this song is for losers...but especially for those who think they can do it better!! (i don't know what concept of losers people you have but, loser is anyone who never wins, health, sports, economically, popularity, whatever)

My InterpretationPlease. Please. Please. Not all songs are about love and relationships.

As a wallflower, I relate to this song deeply, and no there's nothing about losing love here.

This one's for the lonely
The one's that seek and find
Only to be let down
Time after time

I was hooked with the first line. Every wallflower isn't a wallflower by choice. We just can't deal with the bullshit fakeness going around. We seeked sanity, we seeked friendship that was not valued by cliches and materials, only to be broken hearted and disappointed with people time after time, going back into our solitary cell. The prison of our own device.

This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all

Greg relates to himself, he tells us we're not alone. There are introverts like us around the world, we just have to find them.

And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

He wrote this song for someone like us. Does that person remember? Or did she lose her hope in humanity and lock herself forever? It's more like he is talking to himself. Hoping she remembers that she's not alone. Hoping she didn't leave forever.

It comes and goes and waves

The sorrow, the disappointment comes and goes. Sometimes we are happy to be left alone. But then we try to find ... try to have some faith...

This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They're only where they are now
Regardless of their fight

This one's for believing
If only for it's sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made

This part is for the people who have already lost their faith in humanity. Already locked themselves...
He says, get up now; don't lose faith so soon. There are people. Real people. Waiting for you

This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones that think they can

Look beyond yourself; there are plenty of people fighting their demons. Depression, take a little time. Find love. Help them.

It comes in waves
I,
Am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I,
Am only led to wonder why
Why I try

This is the most painful part of the song for me. After the feeling has passed, there's this emptiness. Always around me. When I want to go away, And lock myself.

This is a very subtle song that talks about the struggles introverts feel in the world. We try to love, to be loved. But there comes a time when everything nauseates us. In our trough we lock ourselves from the world. Something I'm going through right now.

I hope someone reads this and understand that they are not alone in their solitary cell. All of us are.

My InterpretationWhat I love about music is that everyone hears a different story, as a depressed human I look at this and it screams a me my story

This one's for the lonely
The one's that seek and find
Only to be let down
Time after time

This is pretty straight forward this song is for the lonely the ones who are looking for something (Happiness love etc.) but they do not find what they are looking for over and over again

This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all

This song is for the ones who feel broken the ones who know falling like no other but dont give up stand up dust the dirt off because we all go through trials you're not the only one we are there for you.

And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

And this is for all of those who are not okay do they remember that there is still beauty in the world that we are all here for eachother

It comes and goes and waves
I

Personally this makes me think of depression people think that depression is a constant thing but that's not always true personally I find that my depression is on and off it literally comes and goes in waves.

This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They're only where they are now
Regardless of their fight

This song is for the one who have no faith anymore the ones that are surprised that after they tried so hard this is where they ended up.

This one's for believing
If only for it's sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made

This song is for the ones who kept believing get up let's make the world r

And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves
I,

The chorus again I already explained that

Am only led to wonder why
It comes in goes in waves
I,
Am only led to wonder why
Why I try

He's wonder why he even tries anymore life is hard and nothing good happens why even try

This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones that think they can

This song is for those who stand even though their knees are about to give out for those who try again even though they keep on failing those who need help and the one who still believe they can do it

It comes in waves
I,
Am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I,
Am only led to wonder why
Why I try

Again he wonders why he tries anymore.
